WILLIAM SMITH HIGH SCHOOL, located in Aurora, Colorado, is a small, relationship-focused public high school that operates as part of the Aurora Public Schools district. Distinguished by its "expeditionary learning" philosophy, the school emphasizes a project-based curriculum where students engage in in-depth investigations of real-world topics. This approach is designed to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and personal responsibility, moving beyond traditional textbook-based instruction to prioritize hands-on application and community engagement.

The school is particularly noted for its tight-knit culture, which is intentionally structured to ensure that every student is well-known by the staff. By utilizing smaller class sizes and personalized learning plans, William Smith aims to create an inclusive environment where students feel supported as they pursue their academic and personal goals. With a focus on social-emotional growth alongside rigorous academics, the school prepares its graduates not only for post-secondary education but also to become active, contributing members of their community.
